I was writing one of my college essays when I started thinking about how we live our lives. It always seems like we’re waiting for something to happen, looking forward to the next big event. During marching rehearsal, I’m looking forward to it being over, and while typing up college apps, I’m dying to get […]
Gold, you say?
“Don’t worry about any of the proper formalities. The Emperor is a very pleasant man, and understands that your culture embraces matters like this differently,” Tiberius whispered into Jenkins’s ear. They stood in the waiting room of the apparent Capitol building, where, within, the Emperor reigned over the city-state.Presently, the guards gestured the party inside. […]
Nothing to write about
So I’ve realized that in general, I don’t throw a lot into these blogs. I have all these artificial restrictions on myself, and in the end, there’s not much.I try not to write too much about my personal life. I know there are ppl who probably would prefer not to appear in my blog, so […]
Myths made real
Jenkins laughed. “Okay, I’ve heard every old pirate legend, and they’re all false, and I’ve heard a million old wives’ tales through the empire, but telling me that YOU’RE a real Roman, and that I’m on an island that Plato made up as complete horse manure…” He stopped laughing for a second, and took a […]
Since When has School been Busy?
So if you didn’t know, I’ve been home alone for about the past week (monday till this wednesday), and surprisingly, it wasn’t that bad. A couple extra things to do before going to bed, and having to deal with food a bit more (my mom left me lots of stuff in the fridge and freezer), […]

Friendly Welcome
Jenkins had never seen an island quite like this. Then again, he lived his life at the sea, with an occasional trip to port. Privateers of this age had no time for finding and burying treasures on remote islands, or having a hidden fortress in the Caribbean.“So, what exactly are we looking for, Captain?” asked […]
Nice Little Island, You’ve Got Here
“Captain, are you sure you want to send a landing party already? We haven’t even scouted out the size of this island, and barely the area.” McKidd struggled to keep up with Jenkins, who hastily ran about the ship, checking on preparations for the landing party.“Of course.” He grabbed an Enfield off the shelf, looking […]
Senior Year? Not much of a Party
It’s come to my attention how dependent I have become on internet, and in the ways I didn’t think.I must say, I didn’t miss IM much. I don’t do it much now, and if something is really that important, they can call me. Regardless, I’ll still be on most of the time (my new policy, […]
Okay, I lie about the 2nd part. I don’t have a life, but if I did, I’d be working on it.So pretty much immediately after I got back from Austin, I began summer band, which was kind of bad since my procrastination has created backup in the other stuff I need to do, but I […]
